[SUPPORT] HB 2044: the Crown Act - Codifying protections for Black Kansans

[Support] SB 130 Protecting natural hairstyles AKA The CROWN Act

No person should lose their job or be sent home from school for how they wear their hair. Hair discrimination clearly has no basis in job or academic performance. We strongly urge the passage of SB 130 favorably out of committee.

House Committee on K-12 Education Budget, Critical Pedagogy/Critical Race Theory; Mark McCormick, Director of Strategic Communications for the ACLU Kansas

The invitation we received to present this afternoon included a message that Rep. Williams believed that something called “Critical Pedagogy” was being taught in Kansas schools and that she further believed that this pedagogy saddled white children with the sins of their ancestors.
